5. Study Description
Brief Summary
In this project, we aim to determine any potential effects of a weak electrical current applied to the neck or thoracic area on functional capacity and muscle activation. Healthy individuals will participate in one familiarization followed by three experimental sessions. Fatigability and motor function will be assessed in each test session.
